Press Release: Teacher effectiveness hampered by lack of incentives and bad behaviour in the classroom

Three out of four teachers feel that they lack incentives to improve the quality of their teaching, while bad behaviour by students in the classroom disrupts lessons in three schools out of five, according to a new OECD report prepared with the support of the European Commission. The report was based on the new Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) and provided, for the first time, internationally comparable data on conditions affecting teachers in schools based on survey findings in 23 participating countries.
